What kinds of decisions should departmental managers be empowered to take in a business organization?

[Kross]

There are different levels of decision-making in business, I presume. There are business decisions that can only be made at the top management level. And there are ones that even the departmental managers can make.

What are the decisions that departmental managers can effectively make in a business organization?

Departmental managers should be empowered to create and approve work plans for their team as it affects their day to day operations.

I think a departmental manager should be allowed to validate new staff for their department before they are hired.
